Do you mean by freeze your mouth....local anaesthetic? yes, you can ask for some numbing gel which eases the pain of injections...it also depends on the area that they are working on as to how much pain is experienced by the injection (e.g. if the needle has to go hrouh the upper pallette it is more painful usually).
As well as brushing you could try flossing to help with your oral hygiene. Also consider cutting down on sweet foods and drink snacks which can increase the activity of the bacteria which cause decay.

No im afraid theres no other way, When my mouth is frozen i never have pains but thats how procedure is done.
